Appraisals While You Wait

Jim O'Bryant encourages you to be present when he performs your appraisal or consultation. Though clients can send items to his lab, he has had many clients drive more than 200 miles to use his services. Being present during the procedure allows you to see how involved the appraisal process is and can generate new questions to ask. All work is done by appointment while you watch. Pieces requiring extensive research will be completed after the appointment and mailed.

The Five Stone Master Diamond Color Grading Set (GIA Set Number 531)

In order for Jim O'Bryant's firm to qualify as an AGS accredited gemological laboratory, the firm must have this set of master diamonds graded by GIA and AGS. A number of appraisers use CZ master comparison sets. These can change color over time and it is not like comparing apples to apples. Settle for nothing less than a set of natural diamond masters.
